We provide travel health services

Canadian Travel Clinics is proud to provide a full range of travel health services in its Toronto downtown location. This includes consultations and vaccinations. We can also provide vaccination certificates for yellow fever and for meningococcal meningitis.

Travel health consultations

During your 30-minute appointment your travel health nurse will take information from you about your health and about your planned trip. They will use this to work out what health risks you will be exposed to during your travels. Then they can make recommendations to help you avoid exposure to dangerous diseases and provide immunizations that will keep you in good health if you are exposed to the bacteria and viruses that cause common travellers’ illnesses.

We know your time is precious, so we provide the first lot of Travel shots immediately after your consultation. You may have to come in again for the next dose, however. The subsequent doses complete the protection. If you miss out on these, your protection may be incomplete or not as long-lasting.

During your appointment you can ask our travel health nurses general health questions. For example, how to:

avoid insect, tick and mosquito bites

eat and drink safely

avoid travellers’ accidents

stay safe in the sun.

Travel vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis

We offer these travel injections:

cholera

diphtheria

hepatitis A

hepatitis B

Japanese encephalitis

meningococcal meningitis

polio

rabies

tetanus

tick-borne encephalitis

Our expert travel nurses can help you to work out what malaria tablets will best protect you when you are travelling. They can also tell you when to start and stop taking your malaria pills.

Catch-up shots

We can also organize catch-up shots if you need protecting from illnesses normally covered by the Canadian vaccine schedule. For example:

chicken pox

diphtheria

flu

measles, mumps and rubella

pertussis (whooping cough)

shingles

Vaccination certificates

Some countries will turn travellers away if they cannot present vaccination certificates. It can be difficult to work out whether you need a certificate of vaccination, particularly if you are on a multi-destination trip. Your travel health adviser will work out what certificates you need and will recommend the shots you need before you travel. They can access the reliable official guidance about border requirements and the health risks at each destination.

At our downtown toronto travel clinic, we can organize certificates for vaccination against yellow fever.

We can also provide you with a meningococcal meningitis certificate, which you will need if you are travelling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj pilgrimage.

When should I make my travel health appointment?

The right time to make an appointment with a travel health centre is six to eight weeks before travelling. Some vaccines take time to provide full protection. And you may need more than one dose.

But if you’re travelling on short notice (or just forgot to make your appointment) come and see us anyway. We can still help. We offer same-day appointments so you can get your travel health regime started right away. Some immunizations can be given on an accelerated schedule. And if you follow our travel health advice, you can increase your chances of avoiding ill-health. So, we definitely want to see last-minute travellers at our travel health clinic!

How much will my travel health regime cost?

The costs of travel health vaccines vary, and it can be difficult to work out what shots you’ll need. But we publish our price list so you can get an idea of what to expect.

Can I save money on my travel health regime?

We will always recommend a cost-effective travel health regime. Your health is priceless so it is worth spending out to protect it from illnesses that might have life-changing or fatal consequences. Some vaccines can be given as combined shots which may represent good value. We do not charge to administer an injection and there are no dispensing fees, either.

And remember, some shots give protection that lasts for ten years, or even a lifetime.

Do I really need a travel health appointment?

Travel broadens the mind – but it also weakens the immune system and puts you at increased risk of contracting unpleasant and dangerous illnesses. Even a relatively minor illness can be worrying and distressing while travelling. Don’t put yourself at risk by skipping your travel health appointment.

Preparing for your travel health appointment

There are a few steps you can take ahead of your appointment with the travel health nurse.

Things to bring to your travel health appointment

Please bring with you:

itinerary with destinations, dates and planned activities

vaccination certificates and records.

What will happen during my travel health appointment?

During your consultation at our downtown toronto travel health centre, the nurse will ask you some questions. By telling them a bit about your medical history and your travel plans you will provide enough information for a risk assessment. This travel health risk assessment will inform the recommendations the nurse will make to you.

If some shots are recommended, we can administer them during the same visit. It is sometimes necessary to come back to our clinic for follow-up shots.

Do I need vaccines for business travel?

When you travel for work, depending on what you will be doing at your destination, you may be exposed to some risks and disease-causing organisms. We tailor our advice to your activities, be it business, agriculture or forestry. For example, agricultural workers and forestry workers may need extra advice on avoiding tick bites. Before your appointment, make a note of the activities you have planned: your travel health nurse will have particular advice for you if you are visiting farms or markets where live animals are sold.

We can offer appointments at the start and end of the working day for your convenience.

Will my health condition have an impact on my trip?

If you have complex health needs, ask for a longer appointment. We would also suggest you discuss your trip with your usual healthcare provider. They can tell you more about the possible effects of, for example, heat and altitude, and advise you on staying safe and comfortable while you travel.

Support your vaccinations

Vaccination gives good protection, but it is, unfortunately, not 100%. And there are some diseases that you cannot get vaccinated against. You will need to back up the protection from vaccination through reducing your exposure to certain hazards. Your travel health nurse can advise on avoiding insect, tick and mosquito bites. And they can recommend steps to ensure you eat and drink safely.

Travellers should also take care to avoid accidents, as they are more at risk in an unfamiliar environment. Your travel health nurse will tell you about any warnings specific to your destinations.

You can also get advice on sun safety during your appointment to help you to decide what sunscreen and protective clothing you need.

Can you help me to avoid malaria?

If you are going to an area where malaria occurs, we’ll recommend malaria tablets.

It can be tricky to work out a safe, comfortable malaria prophylaxis routine. You will need to start taking your malaria pills before you arrive in the malarious area. And you may have to continue taking them after you leave. But at Canadian Travel Clinics, our travel health nurses can help. By checking your travel plans, they can work out a routine that will help you to avoid this dangerous tropical disease.

Some malaria tablets have unwanted side-effects. So, it may be best to try a test course of malaria prophylaxis before you leave to ensure you can tolerate the recommended malaria pills. If not, there are alternatives, so we should be able to help you stay safe.
